> Honest comparisons against the task apps, calendars and bots people already use for reminders, including where the other one wins.

Most of these tools are good, and some of them are better than Pokobot at the thing they were built for. Each page says where, then makes the one case a reminder app can't answer: a WhatsApp message gets read, and a push notification gets swiped away.
